Maximize Utility
Laptop computers offer convenience and portability, especially now as the remote working model continues to be embraced by corporations. However, some jobs require more screen real estate, and sometimes it’s more comfortable to use a mouse than a trackpad. Peripherals offer working professionals more flexibility to create a setup that suits them, and many take advantage of this with an external monitor—or two—a keyboard and mouse, perhaps a USB stick or external hard drive for backing up data, and more. A docking station allows all of these things to be connected by plugging in a single USB Type-C connector, keeping desks clean, and reducing the number of steps required to get up and running come Monday morning.
